The associate fellowship is divided in two groups: junior fellows and senior fellows.
- Junior fellows: the programme is aimed at identifying, nurturing and connecting next generation leaders and scholars through conferences, seminars and professional development activities, in-person and online.
- Senior fellows: the programme is aimed at strengthening and complementing the capabilities of the NATO Defense College’s Research Division through publications, participation and organization of workshops, as well as lectures and mentoring.

However, their individual contributions are remunerated according to the NDC schedule for publication authorship. Junior fellowships are limited to 1 year but can be extended by one year. Senior fellowships are limited to 2 years and can be renewed for an additional 2 years.
